phal Aug 2014 11:35am, 18 Aug 2014 2,107 posts	Quote Pin phal It was a both thing. Which of the two do you really expect me to not want to do? Dave is sitting just -------> on the sofa btw. We really should talk to each other

Flatlander Aug 2014 1:02pm, 18 Aug 2014 48 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander Kinky, my Therfield Heath circuit is at http://www.fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=260318 a mixture of grass, trail, slope down through some woods, edge of farm fields, past a defunct firing range, chalk hills over the golf course. Starts and finishes at the heath pavilion. I'm hoping to go there for a hill training run soon if you want to meet up for me to show you the route, perhaps once in each direction. Also, Royston Runners are organising the Harvest Trail HM at Therfield Heath on Sunday 21st September, and although their route isn't being published, I suspect that some of it uses my circuit. Flanker, possibly those are the hills which can be seen from the A10. I'm familiar with the "hills" around Haslingfield due to my cycling, but I don't know about off road paths. The road between Barrington and Haslingfield goes over a nice steep (well, steep for round here ;-)) hill, and isn't too busy. I've seen signs for footpaths, but I've never used them.
KinkyS Aug 2014 1:25pm, 18 Aug 2014 16,985 posts	Quote Pin KinkyS Racingwise for next year, I'm already in for Bolton Hill marathon because it was free But it's offroad and hilly, and the day before Lakeland Trails Coniston marathon, so that will be a good weekend's training. I want to do Trail Marathon Wales again, because it was offroad and hilly, and some of the rough terrain in the second half really challenged my technique on tired legs so that should be good too. And then we've got the Ultimate Trails 110km which covers a lot of the same areas as the UTLD, so more good training. And hopefully the LDWA Red Rose 100, more good time on feet offroad training and the mental boost of (hopefully) knowing I can at least cover the distance in one go on an easier course. The only race that isn't particularly relevant to UTLD that I'm not prepared to give up is VLM, but that's only in April so should still be OK? I don't mind at all missing out on all the road stuff I did this year - a HM, 30km and 20M, but I'd still like to do Windermere marathon...
flanker Aug 2014 2:55pm, 18 Aug 2014 15,145 posts	Quote Pin flanker F, yes that was the paths I was thinking off. Used to drive past them daily and often enviously watched people running them while sat in a queue of traffic! Might have to break the train journey home at Royston one day and try it!
